Comprehensive immigration reforms regarding visas for skilled workers in the technology sector, as well as adjustments to the EU Blue Card
Greece has introduced a “Tech Visa” and a “Talent Visa,” thereby expanding its options for recruiting highly qualified foreign professionals.
The government has also extended the validity period of the EU Blue Card and relaxed the rules regarding the permissible timeframe for submitting applications.
Finally, a new visa for specialized technical personnel allows foreign nationals to transfer from a company in a third country to a Greek company for a period of 12 months to work on major projects there.
According to Greek authorities, the implementing guidelines are expected to be published shortly. These guidelines include lists of required documents, procedural explanations, and processing steps – all of which are necessary for the practical implementation of the legislative changes.
